Large-scale production of megakaryocytes from human pluripotent stem cells by chemically defined forward programming

Platelets are blood circulating corpuscles generated from megakaryocytes that initiate wound healing. Here, Moreau et al. describe a way of producing large quantities of megakaryocytes from human pluripotent stem cells in the laboratory, moving us a step closer to manufacturing transfusion products.
